Chapter 23: New Business Opportunities
The harvest of this trip into the mountains is still quite large, not only netted a large number of fish, dug more winter bamboo shoots, but also picked some wild mountain mushrooms, now is not the season to get out of the fungus, pick not much, but enough for the whole family to eat.
"It's getting dark, let's go back." Yu Feng glanced at the dark sky and said.
Yu Wan nodded: "It's time to go back." ”
"Aren't you netting some fish anymore?" Yu Song knew that the crucian carp here could be sold for a good price, and he couldn't catch a few fairs, so he hoped to harvest more this time.
Yu Feng said: "It's not safe in the mountains, as soon as it's dark, everything runs out, and if you don't go back, your father and mother will be worried." ”
Although Yu Song was unwilling, he thought that his mother might be standing in front of the door and looking worriedly, so he pouted and went down the mountain with the two.
As soon as the three of them entered the backyard of Awan's house, the sky began to fall with heavy snow.
Yu Song opened his mouth, fortunately he was back!
Today at the old house for dinner, Jiang and Xiao Tie Dan passed before lunch, Yu Wan asked the eldest brother and second brother to go first, and she herself put the winter bamboo shoots away, fed the pigs, chickens and rabbits, and then took the two catties of wild mountain mushrooms to the old house.
Halfway through, I met Aunt Zhang, who was harvesting corn on the cob.
Aunt Zhang smiled: "What about going to my uncle's house for dinner?" ”
"Yes, has Aunt Zhang eaten it?" Yu Wan greeted him kindly.
Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "I'm going home to do it." ”
Yu Wan said: "Then Aunt Zhang should go quickly." ”
Aunt Zhang sighed and went.
Everyone had walked far away, and she turned back and looked at Yu Wan's back.
Just now, she actually wanted to ask this girl, what happened to the Zhao family? Why overnight, those who are close to each other are no longer close, and those who don't get along with each other for the old and dead are back and forth.
Although it is not a bad thing, but in the end, the villagers are curious......
Yu Wan is focused on making money, so she naturally doesn't think much about other things, not to mention that her temperament is very different from before, and she will inevitably cause people to discuss, but the big guy has no malicious intentions, so she doesn't need to care.
Approaching the old house, Yu Wan smelled a strong aroma of braised pork, which was the first time she had smelled such an attractive braised incense after coming to Lotus Village for so long.
Yu Wan instantly felt hungry.
In the hall of the old house, the eldest aunt was bringing the dishes to the table one by one, Jiang helped take care of the little girl, and Xiao Tie Dan followed Yu Feng and Yu Song to the water tank and bucket in the backyard to put fish.
The two families haven't been so lively for a long time, the adults can still hold it, but the child can't hide it, the little girl who is late and has few words, followed behind Jiang's, grabbed Jiang's skirt and kept screaming, and the sound of Yu Song and Xiao Tie Dan laughing came from the backyard.
It's not the New Year yet, but it seems to have the breath of the New Year.
In the hall, the eldest aunt was serving food, and Yu Wan went to help.
The eldest aunt put a bowl of steaming green vegetable and egg drop soup on the table and said to Yu Wan: "It's all right, you can sit down!" What did you bring over again? Don't always fetch things from home, there's enough to eat! ”
"A little wild mushroom." Yu Wan smiled and handed the basket to the eldest aunt, "What about the uncle?" ”
"Yes, mother, what about Dad?" Yu Song packed up the crucian carp and came over sweating profusely.
The eldest aunt took the basket and put it away: "There is one last dish, and I will come over when it is ready." ”
Yu Song and Yu Feng, who led the little iron egg over, were stunned.
What did his mother say?
Is his dad cooking?
His dad cooked?!
Yu Wan glanced at the two brothers strangely, Jiang took the little girl and walked over, and whispered in Yu Wan's ear: "Your uncle is a very good cook, he has been a chef in the capital, and he has never held a spoon since his leg was injured. ”
It's because ...... She?
Yu Wan was stunned.
Brother Yu Feng glanced at Yu Wan invariably, needless to say, he knew why his father was so happy, Xiao Tie Dan often came over, he hadn't seen his father cook in person once, it couldn't be for the third aunt, count and count, only this girl who almost became a white-eyed wolf.
Yu Song snorted deliciously.
"Rock Candy Elbow is here!" The uncle himself limped into the hall with a steaming bowl.
"Didn't you let it go!" The eldest aunt roared, hurriedly walked over, and took the big bowl from his hand, "Xiaofeng, come and help your father!" ”
Yu Feng had already walked towards his father before his mother could speak.
He held out his hand.
The uncle glanced at his son very calmly, and raised his chin: "I don't want you to help me." ”
Disgusted son: "......"
Yu Wan bent the corners of her lips and walked over to help her uncle sit down.
Uncle's cooking skills are really good, several inconspicuous field dishes were fried by him to taste, a plate of green pepper stir-fried corn kernels, spicy and refreshing, sweet and refreshing, the sweet and spicy ingredients themselves are perfectly cooked, the corn kernels are sun-dried, but there is no trace of dryness and hardness to eat, just like the fresh corn that was peeled off today.
What made Yu Wan even more unstoppable was the plate of scrambled eggs with leeks, a large round sheet, with a slight burnt yellow on the edges, but the center was so tender that she could suck it in one bite.
The uncle's family used salt bought from the shop, but Yu Wan could hardly taste the bitterness.
"Eggs." The little girl still has to eat.
Yu Wan pinched a large piece for her, and she ate it awkwardly with chopsticks.
Of course, the most popular is the bowl of braised elbow with rock sugar.
Just looking at the oily red and shiny elbow skin can make people's saliva go down.
This is the most delicious elbow Yu Wan has ever tasted, and even the braised pork in Baiyulou and Emerald Lou is less than one-tenth of it.
Not to mention, the uncle still uses the most astringent inferior salt, if it can be replaced with snowflake salt, Yu Wan can't imagine what this dish will be delicious.
"I have an idea." Yu Wan finished eating the last piece of elbow meat in her bowl, put down her chopsticks, looked at her family solemnly and said, "Tomorrow is the market, we won't sell pork." ”
"Pork?" Yu Feng was stunned, "Wait, when did we decide to sell pork?" We don't have ......."
He paused.
How could he forget that the third aunt had just returned a pig from the Zhao family.
Yu Wan looked at Yu Feng with a smile: "That's right, it's the pig that the Zhao family paid us, I originally planned to keep half of it, and the other half to sell it at the market, but now, I have changed my mind." Uncle cooking skills are so good, it's a pity not to show his hand, we don't sell raw meat, sell braised meat, braised meat is more profitable than raw meat, but it takes hard work for Uncle to make brine. ”
Selling braised pork is indeed a good idea, but will his father agree?
His father had sworn never—
"What's so hard about this!" Uncle slapped the table, "How much do you want?" I'm going to boil it for you! ”
